Hairy Banjo Player

I thought that this banjo pop lark had been done before. The Hollies, Stop Stop Stop recorded in front of what I can only assume were a strongly sedated ageing BBC audience - look at them happily clapping away instead of tutting the group for the length of their hair.
Prior to seeing clips of this I always assumed that the lead on this song used a freaky guitar sound. Instead it's a freaky sounding banjo. It has a eastern feel to it. A great pop song about a man obsessed by a lap dancer. It happens I have heard.
This week the Folk have been, in no particular order, breathing, eating, drinking, shitting and pissing.
I may archive this blog and set up my own one on the off chance that anyone reads this pish. Basically the Folk are no more. It was fun while it lasted.
